On-going road work may delay opening …

?
For Arlington it is the 7th Kroger store to be open in the city. For Kennedale it is just one of many grocery venues that have opened on the fringes of the city in recent years. While the exact grand-opening is still in question with all the roadwork that is still in progress, it is certain Kroger will open soon. {{more: read more …}}
?
What maybe the biggest holdup is the roadwork that is slowly but steadily edging to a finish. The original agreement with the city of Arlington was that all road construction on the four lane road would be completed before the opening of the store.
?

It is safe to say the intersection of Sublett and US287 will double in size and offerings for both Arlington and Kennedale residents. It will not contribute to the City of Kennedale’s tax base since it is all outside of the city limits but it will help the KISD.? The school district does not collect sales taxes but will benefit with the commercial property tax revenue off the? formerly agriculture land.?

?
Kroger Market Place ?
?
Kroger describes a ?marketplace store? as follows. ?Along with the huge variety of fresh foods you expect, Kroger Marketplace? is the only store you need for Home Fashion and D?cor, Bed and Bath, Kitchen and Small Appliances, Home Office and Toys. Offering an abundance of the items you need for every part of your life, Kroger Marketplace? is your one-stop shopping destination.?
?
The store will also offer be an outdoor covered sitting area for those grabbing a bite to eat.
?
This past year in anticipation of the competition, Albertsons has remodeled and updated it offerings include new deli offerings with in store sitting along with a Starbuck?s Coffee Bar.
?

Fast food options will greatly expand ?

?
Currently eating options at 287 and Sublett include Jack in the Box, Burger King, Chicken Express, McDonalds, Sonic Drive-In, Subway, Mr Wok Chinese, Papa Murphy?s Pizza, Denny?s and Pespa?s Italian plus the deli in the newly redesigned Albertsons along with the in store Starbucks.
?
If all goes as currently planned, there will be a new Chick-fil-a, Taco Bell and an Andy?s Frozen Custard plus a drive-through/sit down Star Bucks next to Kroger as well as the deli options in Kroger.?
?
Other stores facilities/stores in the works …
?
On the Kroger site there will several pad sites that will occupied by other types of businesses, one of which is an O?Reilly Auto Part Store. Across the street next to Alberstons and behind Sublett Corners will be an All Storage rental facility. Land is being clear for it now.
?
New signal lights are being installed at Sublett and Joplin Road/Coker Lane. This will help traffic going in and out of the Kroger business area. The old family road will evenually connect with Joplin Road and on through to Eden Road. See plans @??Joplin

Road Development

?
Arlington has the area along Joplin Road zoned for small professional/commercial use with some residential development – up to 30 zero lot line (40×100) housing units that would have alley access to rear facing garage. Again, all of this in the City of Arlington city limits.
